and kim gittleson has the details about what's ahead on wall street today.vestors will be eyeing a raft of economic data to better gauge what the us federal reserve will do when it meets next week. housing data released by the census bureau is expected to show that new construction slowed in february, partially as a result of poor weather here in the north—east. two key measures of us manufacturing activity will also be released. a miss in any of these figures could worry america's central bankers, especially after retail sales and inflation data came in lower than expected this week. the expectation is that the fed will continue to slowly raise us interest rates. but in order to do that, it will need the american economy to be growing at a healthy pace. joining us is simon derrick, chief markets strategist, bank of new york mellon. in terms of occurrences, we have this trade war, a great euphemism, for general chaos in the trade sphere. what effect is it having on currencies generally? i'm thinking about the three main ones. currencies generally? i'm thinki

"wall street journal" editor kim strassel. betwixt and between on all this, i notice whatever your views of the president, the worst things look for him potentially especially if investigation might not look good, look worse for the markets. then they think about it, calm down, what's your sense? >> yeah, people want to feel as though they've got a white house that is free from the kind of overhang that is going on right now. so the more you hear about mueller, the more you hear comments from former obama officials like john brennan, suggesting the russians have something on him. more all of the news media is on this, the tougher it is for the markets to the believe that there's going to be any head room in washington to just get things done that are priorities like for the economy, because everyone is so wrapped up in all of these theories and conspiracies. neil: let's take each one quickly if we can, on the mueller stuff and whether this somehow telegraphs more ominous things than the president earlier thought. i didn't read

kim jong-un. we will bring you the latest from d.c. according to the walltreet journal, lloyd blankfein having served about 12 years at goldman sachs is repairing an exit perhaps as soon as the end of the year. pretty ok, upted 1.5%. you covered banking for many years. we knew that lloyd blankfein would leave at some point and copresidents had been assigned and it looked like they may be the next lead, one, or both. how will history judge lloyd blankfein? >> he did a great job getting goldman through the crisis. that was not easy. a lot of firms we lost during the crisis but goldman came out. there was debate at the time whether government saving aig help to them. -- helped them. government stepped in. came out successfully from a crisis and he was at the top. that is why he held onto his job. firms that were injured during the crisis had a lot of change, citigroup had two ceos changed. morgan stanley had changes at the helm. goldman stuck with lloyd blankfein because he got them out of the crisis in a decent rate. the last few years have been different and

kim you had a terrific piece in "the wall street journal" on what was going on inside the white housedential promise on the campaign trail, no doubt. but it had been kept under wraps for over a year. what finally took the wraps off? >> well, look. what gets missed in this is just how much work had gone into getting to a plan. you've got a protectionist faction in the white house, a free market faction. they had finally met in the uneasy middle and they had a deliberate plan. on paper it was supposed to start in january with the president's announcement on solar panels within the washington machine and then a targeted action against china because many people on both sides can agree that it's a bad actor on things like intellectual property. instead, wilbur ross got in the president's ear, the commerce secretary, and suddenly the president is out there imposing steel tariffs which had been designed to be held in reserve by the way, on the entire world, not just china. and gary cohn was rightfully unhappy after all of this work that had gone into it, that this was the president just comp

kim you had a terrific piece in "the wall street journal" on what was going on inside the white house was a presidential promise on the campaign trail, no doubt. but it had been kept under wraps for over a year. what finally took the wraps off? >> well, look. what gets missed in this is just how much work had gone into getting to a plan. you've got a protectionist faction in the white house, a free market faction. they had finally met in the uneasy middle and they had a deliberate plan. on paper it was supposed to start in january with the president's announcement on solar panels within the washington machine and then a targeted action against china because many people on both sides can agree that it's a bad actor on things like intellectual property. instead, wilbur ross got in the president's ear, the commerce secretary, and suddenly the president is out there imposing steel tariffs which had been designed to be held in reserve by the way, on the entire world, not just china. and gary cohn was rightfully unhappy after all of this work that had gone into it, that this was the preside

kim jong-un. let's bring in gordon chang, author of "nuclear showdown" and john busse, also a fox news contributor. i want to talk about this article posted by the "wallg that during the meeting, at the dinner with the south korean diplomat and kim jong-un, one, he showed up surprisingly with his sister and wife, two, there was plenty of alcohol flowing and that he was joking a lot, in fact making jokes about himself. it seems like there's been a drastic change in this man in just a very short time, john. >> or maybe no change and this is the way he is and we're finally actually seeing it. this is all through the prism of the south koreans who met with him at this dinner. what that means, who knows. the announcement by the white house that they are willing to sit down and talk, the glass half full assessment of this is that, look, nothing else has worked. let's try talking. nothing else has worked for decades. and it's a fairly compelling argument. the glass half empty argument here is that kim does get the stature of at least even talking with the president -- the possibility of talking with the president of the united states raises his stature and h

north korean leader kim jong-un did travel to china for a historic meeting with president xi jinping. so what did they talk about. >>> and funding the border wall. now president trump is floating the idea of using military money. >>> good morning from the studio 57 newsroom at cbs news headquarters here in new york. good to be with you. i'm anne-marie green. we begin with breaking news. >>> early this morning stormy daniels, the adult film star who alleges she had a sexual encounter with president trump, files a motion asking for the right to depose the president and his lawyer michael cohen. it also asks for a jury trial. now, only four sitting presidents have been deposed. the last one was bill clinton who was later impeached for lying under oath. we're joined now by cbs news analyst rikki klieman to break it all down for us. thank you so much, rikki. we know stormy daniels' team, they're asking for a jury trial, expedited discovery. what are they trying to do? >> what they're trying to do is show this is a matter in the public's interest, and in this rather stellar, i have to say -- >> you read it. >> -- it's actually brilliant, and i don't

this would be the first time also that kim has left north korea since he took over the top job if you like back in 2011 which is extraordinary. china is stone wallingon this. the ministry of foreign affairs was asked outright was kim jong-un in beijing. the reply was, chris, i have no idea. but it does point to kim. the timing is important because we got the upcoming summit between the two koreas and the meeting with donald trump and kim. china wants some influence in the meetings and north korea wants to restore the relations between beijing and north korea. maybe this is a way to do that. >> the recent trump move would incentivize the chinese to mess with the u.s.'s game a little bit with north korea. sometimes it's what they don't tell you that reveals the truth of a situation. andrew, thank you very much. appreciate it. >>> so there's going to be a question about citizenship status in the census included in 2020. they haven't been asking that question for a while. it's controversial. why is it happening? the request of the justice department saying it was needed to better enforce the voting rights act. now, remember, that's about disenfranchise

the chinese made it clear with this visit that they play a front and center wall when it comes to dealing with the kim regime. the president paid respect to his chinese counterpart to that effect today tweeting, "received a message last night from xi jingping of china that he had a meeting with him drunk on and it went very well and kim looks forward to his meeting with me. in the meantime, and unfortunately, maximum sanctions and pressure must be maintained at all costs." despite their freeze on my cell a nuclear custom of the north koreans appear to be moving forward at all costs and a breakneck speed with her nuclear program. no photo show another reactor, the north claims that is for peaceful electric generation. intelligence reports it is also capable of throwing off plutonium for more bombs. if the white house or u.s. intelligence community knew about the chinese summit, they didn't say anything, nor did they seem particularly surprised. the chinese official state media it reiterated the offer by kim jong un of face-to-face with president trump. >> certainly, we are going to be cautiously optimi

than how a white house official then backtracked the walk back telling the "wall street journal" the invitation to meet with kimg-un, was, quote, extended and that stands. and could there be anything more trump. that depends. is there anything more trump than the way he rolled out yesterday's announcement on tariffs and how it made his top economic adviser look after looking side lines on a top matter of economic policy or how his white house staff was caught off guard or this i alone can fix it attitude the president has about something to complicated. you see a pattern here. could there be anything more trump than all of that. that depends. is there anything more trump than the stormy daniels, an extramarital affair with a porn staff and $130,000 in mush money and a temporary restraining order. and is there anything more trump thap the meltdown of his former adviser sam nunberg who called trump a [ inaudible ]. well that depends. is there anything more trump than all of these stories happening in the same week. folks, this is the trump presidency. this is normal. for trump. a monday meltdown and tuesday resig

kim says he's willing to denuclearize, but what does he want from president trump in return? >>> and who is going to pay for the wall? >> mexico! >> 100%. >> in a slight evolution from that stance, the president is floating a new idea -- let the u.s. military pay for a border wall. >>> emotions running high in sacramento, california, as protesters take over a city council meeting demanding answers after a police shooting of an unarmed black man. >>> good morning, everyone, and welcome to "early start." i'm dave briggs. >> i'm christine romans. it is wednesday, march 28th, 4:00 a.m. in the east. we begin with an image that seemed unimaginable a few months ago. north korean leader kim jong-un standing side by side with chinese president xi jinping. the two shaking hands during kim's surprise visit to beijing. his first trip abroad since taking power in 2011. kim calling for a new era in bilateral relations, even inviting president xi to president pyongyang, an offer xi accepted. >> kim made the trip because he felt compelled to personally share details of the changing diplomatic landscape on the korean peninsula. this
